LTUSD to reorganize front office

With all the retirements in Lake Tahoe Unified School District, changes are coming to the front office.

At the July 21 6pm board of trustee meeting the electeds are being asked to approve a reorganization of the district office. The proposal affects the composition of cabinet, coordinators and principals.

The new coordinator positions and/or principals will participate with the cabinet when needed to ensure program development and efficiency.

Instead of replacing CFO Deb Yates, the district is likely to have a chief business and operations officer who will oversee information technology, facilities, nutrition and purchasing, and the newly created financial services director position.

“This will improve district-wide efficiency, communication and problem solving.  The shift from the fiscal services specialist to a director of financial services allows the senior accounting team to receive direction in day-to-day business,” the staff report says.

The receptionist-office assistant position will be retitled to include accounting assistant to better reflect current job duties.

A new custodial supervisor position is on the agenda.

The Human Resources Department is also likely to be revamped. The HR administrative assistant will become an HR classified personnel specialist, with duties including chief labor negotiations, district health benefits program, state required employee training, and assignment of retiree work program for benefits.
